Application filed February 21, 1913, Serial No. 749,965. Renewed January 21, 1914. Serial No. 813,549.

7 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, GEORGE W. GORE and LoUIs E. GORE, citizens of the United States, residing at Mena, in the county of Polk and State of Arkansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Saw-Sets, of which the following is a specification, reference being bad to the accompanylng drawings.

This invention comprehends certain new and useful improvements in tools and relates more specifically to saw sets.

An object of the invention is to provide a saw set which may be readily adjusted for setting the teeth at various angles.

Another object is to provide a device of this character which will be of extremely sim ple construction and operation and which may be applied to a saw and operated to set the teeth thereof with one hand.

Another object is to generally improve and simplify the construction and operation of devices of this character and thereby increase the efliciency and commercial value of the same.

With the above and other objects in view, this invention consists in the novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described, claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1, is an elevational view of the device in position upon a saw of conventional form, said saw being shown in section. Fig. 2, is a top plan view of Fig. 1. Fig. 3, is a vertical longitudinal section through the tool, the outer ends of the handle and lever being broken away. Fig. 4, is a sectional view on the line 44 of Fig. 3. Fig. 5, is a cross sectional view on the line 55 of Fig. 4. Fig. 6, is an elevational view of the rotary anvil removed. Fig. 7, is a plan view of the same. Fig. 8, is a detail perspective view of the plunger removed.

Referring more specifically to the drawings in which similar reference characters designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, 1 designates the handle which has mounted upon its upper end the head 2 with the longitudinal recess or channel 3 formed therein to accommodate the plunger 4.

The plunger 4 has a beveled forward end which terminates in the point 5, the purpose of which will presently appear. The plunger is engaged at its rear end and forced 1 forwardly by means of the upper free end of the lever 6 which is pivoted between the depending ears 7 at the inner end of the head 2, said lever being swung upon its pivot by forwardly. The plunger 4 is prevented from rising at its rear or inner end, by means of the pin 8 positioned through the head 2 above the rear end of the plunger and transversely of the same. The plunger 4 is hollow and has one side open while the opposite side is provided with the longitudinal slot 9 and a removable stop pin 10 is positioned transversely through the forward portion of the head 2 and through the open side of the plunger 4 and the longitudinal slot 9 thereof thus limiting outward or forward movement of the plunger and the plunger is automatically returned to its rear or innermost position by means of the coil sprlng 11 positioned therein, it being understood that the pin 10 is positioned forwardly of the coils of the spring, thus causing the latter to be compressed upon outward or forward movement of the plunger. It will also be noted that as the upper or forward free end of the lever 6 presses downwardly upon the rear or inner end of the plunger 4 as the latter is forced forwardly, the free end of the plunger will be caused to move upwardly, the purpose of which will presently be apparent.

The anvil carrying block 12 is positioned opposite the forward end of the head 2 and in spaced relation thereto. connected with the forward end of the head by means of the connecting neck portions 13 connectin the corresponding upper corners of the block 12 and the forward end of the head 2.

The anvil carrying block 12 is provided with a central opening to receive the shank portion 14 of the rotary adjustable anvil 15 which has its face opposite the forward end of the head 2 divided into a number of parts, each part of which has a different bevel, as clearly shown on the drawings, the different parts being designated by the letters A, B, C, D and E. While we have shown the face of the anvil as being divided into five parts, it will be understood that we do not wish to be limited to this specific number, as the anvil face may be Patented Aug. 18, 1914.

The block is divided into any desirled number of parts,

each having a different bevel; The bevel of each part is indicated upon its face, as clearly shown in Fig. 6 and by turning the anvil shank 14:, by means of the knob 16, the anvil 15 may be readily rotated to adjust the same and bring the proper beveled portion of the anvil face directly opposite the plunger point 5 to set the saw teeth at the desired angle or inclination.

When the anvil has been properly adjusted, the mark upon the portion of the face cooperating with the plunger 4 may be readily seen by the operator, as the upper portion of the head is open above the plunger 4.

The tool is clamped in position upon the saw by means of the clamping plate 17 having its forward end turned downwardly, as

shown at 18 for engagement against one side of the saw body, said clamping plate being secured in adjusted position by means of the set screw 19 engaged through the ion gitudinal slot 20 in the main portion of the plate and threaded in the under side of the head 2.

It will be noted that the forward end of the head 2 is inclined upwardly "and rearwardly, while the anvil carrying block 12 is inclined in the opposite direction, thus increasing the width of the space between the forward end of the head 2 and the anvil 15, toward the top of the device, the purpose of which will be readily apparent.

' In use, the device is placed over the teeth of the saw, after the latter has been clamped in the vise or other suitable support and the device is then clamped in position with the plunger point 5 directly opposite a tooth to be set and the clamping plate 17 clamped in position with its downwardly turned end 18 against the body of the saw. The anvil 15 is adjusted, as previously described and then the lower end of the lever 6 pressed toward the lower end of the handle 1 to force the plunger 4 outwardly and thus cause the plunger point 5 to bend the tooth and properly set the same by forcing it against the uppermost beveled portion of the anvil face. The set screw 19 is then loosened and the tool moved to the next tooth to be set and the operation just described repeated, and so on until all of the teeth have been properly set.

\Vhile we have shown the preferred embodiment of our invention, we do not wish to be limited tothis specific form, as minor changes in the details of construction may be resorted to within the scope of the appended claims without departing from the spirit of our invention.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim is i 1. A saw set comprising a handle having a head formed on one end, a plunger mounted for reciprocation within the head, said plunger being provided with an open side and a slotted side, a spring within said plunger, a stop pinpositioned through the open and slotted sides of the plunger and through the spring, said pin being carried by the head, means for forcing the plunger outwardly against the tension of the spring, an anvil spaced from the plunger and adapted for cooperationtherewith, means connected with the head for supporting the anvil, means for adjusting the anvil, and means for clamping the tool upon a saw.

2. A saw set comprising a handle having a head formed on one end, a plunger mount ed for reciprocation within the head, said plunger being provided With an open side and a slotted side, a spring within said plunger, a stop pin positioned between the open and slotted sides of the plunger at one end of the spring, said pin having its ends rigidly secured in'the head, means for forcing the plunger outwardly against the tension of the spring, means spaced from the plunger and adapted for cooperation therewith to set the teeth of a saw, means connected with the head for supporting the last mentioned means, and means for clamping the tool upon a saw.

8. A. saw set comprising a handle having a head formed on one end, a plunger mounted for reciprocation within the'head and having an open side and a slotted side, a stop pin positioned through the open and slotted sides of the plunger, means for resiliently retaining the plunger in its rearward position, means for forcing the plunger forwardly, an anvil spaced from the plunger and adapted for cooperation therewith, means connected with the head for supporting the anvil, means for adjusting the anvil, means for guiding the plunger, and means for clamping the tool upon a saw.

In testimony whereof we hereunto affix.

our signatures in the presence of two witnesses.
